Frustrated!

I could of found out the sex at my 2 weekly appointment yesterday!
Having to go regularly to measure my cervix & because of it being internally I had to get dh (dear husband) to sit outside with the kids.
Once finished she did the usual scan so we could see baby move about & because of it being an ideal position she asked if I wanted to know what the sex was but dh (dear husband) had taken the youngest for a bum change! Ahh.
I guarantee we don't get the same lady when I go back in 2 weeks so I'm having to wait 4 weeks now (ok I know I would of had to normally anyway).

Oh know :-( thats so typical but on the plus side you still have the exciteme...

Oh know :-( thats so typical but on the plus side you still have the excitement of finding out to come!!
Plus that must have taken some strength from you to decline finding out- go you!!! It will be worth it in the end to share that special moment with your OH! X

God yes it did!
As soon as she started the sentence do you want to find out I was shouting yes lol.
I did contemplate finding out & not telling him but I'm rubbish at keeping secrets.
I could of got loads of clothes & if questioned just said I had a feeling but if it was the other way around I would be gutted so I just pretended I wasn't too bothered when she said he was busy.
He did tell me I should of just found out but when I reminded him that he would of been annoyed he said your right.
It's just so annoying!

Every appointment so far we have had someone to look after kids but this 1 time...

Typical- always the way lol but at least it sounds like your OH (other half) appreciated you not finding out and waiting! Hopefully next time you will have childcare in place so there will be nothing stopping you finding out! Good luck- hope baby behaves for you next time and is in the right position again!! X

Your growing child

Following a well-established nighttime routine may help settle your baby to sleep. Feed her, give her a bath, put her in her pyjamas, play a game, read her a book, sing songs or play some music, then put her down. Read More

5 month old, first week

Your baby can't express his emotions in the same complex way that you can. Although he can let you know in clear ways when he's angry, bored or happy, his ability to show love and humour are just developing. Read More

5 month old, third week

Your baby's getting better at spotting very small objects and tracking moving things. At this point, he may be able to recognise an object after seeing only part of it, like his favourite toy peeking out from under the couch. Read More
